Do you carry a kickstand tray for grass/dirt, gravel or hot days on asphalt?

That little thing that looks like a hockey puck?
A crushed coke can works just as well and can be found anywhere.

Yeah I have one, but as the man said crushed beercans/cokecans/bits of wood do the job just as well..

so does a rock laying on the side of the road somewhere
. In all honesty since I only ride at night and only park in parking lots that are not tar I dont carry anything but if I ever need one I will probably just cut a piece of diamond plate here at work and use that

I do.
My bike tends to be a bit top heavy, and the gravel parking lot at work can get a bit soft, so I have a plate that I made and keep clipped to my tankbag.

Yep. I have one shaped like a foot. It is attached to a long shoestring with a loop in the end. The loop goes around the grip. When I get ready to leave, just pull the string.

Clever but lazy
I haven't had need for one of these...even on tar my bike hasn't threatened to sink. I suppose I should give it more consideration in these hot summers!

Nope, I always park on the centerstand.
